I appreciate Oladipo giving Houston his all even though we arent Miami. But pls dont take charges on meaningless games. No shorten ya career abeg

But it's not like he went on one long injury that. He should must go back to the basics for real, I think he's trying to do too much.

After that quad injury in the rockets playoffs last year, he really has not been the same imo. I believe even the latest injury is related to this

steady986:
The manner in which Westbrook has derailed ever since he stepped his foot in that bubble needs to be investigated. Man has scored 163 points this season from 163 shots, averaging 18 points on 37% shooting, after averaging 27 points from 47% shooting last year, which was his most efficient shooting season in the NBA. At 32 years of age is he done? Man needs to see a psychologist.
.

He looks a step slower. I think the injuries may have accelerated father time for him. He still likes to play physical and he will get some points, but the triple double WB is gone

DeeMain:
Glory to God for your life, bro. May he perfect the healing. Welcome back.

Amen!

but make una no catch corona o, that thing wicked, i just they recover and omo, thank God for life o. the thing wan wound me o

Good to hear my man. In spite of the casualties boys dey get down for atl like sey nothing dey. We have had some disconcerting losses in the naija community out here.

Thoughts and prayers are with C. LeVert as he recovers from cancer surgery!
#RIP24

If not for the trade it would not have been caught early. Whew!

A40:
Omo. If this version of Brady somehow beats Mahomes this will push him to another stratosphere that nobody might ever surpass till the end of time. I just find it hard to believe a healthy Mahomes loses that game.

He wont. At least two or three of the interceptions Brady threw were his own fault. They only reason Rodgers could not capitalize was the Bucaneers defense. I doubt the defense will be able to erase those mistakes vs mahomes led kansas.

Btw whoever is the bucaneers defensive coordinator needs a massive raise. Or should be coaching a team. I know Aarons body still hurts this morning. Even roland17 felt those sacks

A40:
When I heard Aaron Rodgers lament about how he needed to get home field advantage and openly said that's one of their surest path to the Superbowl that's when I knew he was not ready. For all his skills what sets him behind Brady and I daresay Mahomes is he's a bit of a mental midget.

He always has an excuse and so does his fanboys.

In 5 Championship games Aaron Fraudgers is now 1-4 with 7 TDs and 7 INTs

Nah this is too harsh. Rodgers is brilliant, and yes, there is a strong green bay clique in the nfl that tends to overrate him. But there is nothing midget about him. He has been a top 3 qb in this league forever.

Tom Brady. The Lebron of the NFL!

Roland17:
We didn’t go for the 4th down? Mike McCarthy is that you?

That did not make any sense to me.

Blueelf:
That's because black males are scared of the stigma and are less likely to seek help or even accept help when its offered

To be honest, as a black person you need to be careful which health professional you discuss your case with. Stories abound - even black researchers that study this phenomenon are not exempt. I know of 2 that died as a result of under treatment. One was a doctor at the hospital she was treated!

In Kyries case, things are worse. Your fam eats off of you, so you cannot be sure they will give you advice in your best interest

SmooshCHN:
I love the NFL bants sha.

Seeing Roland17 sweating through his comments. Am I the only one with that feeling?


Just few days sha, insha allah.

He called lambeau field jerusalem of football

Boys are not smiling at all!

A40:
Who saw the Kyrie interview? I kinda feel bad for some of what I've said on this thread. That nigga looked like his wife and kids abandoned him or some shit. Whatever he's dealing with must be pretty serious man.

I hope his teammates rally round him and he's receptive to their support. Whatever he's dealing with I believe playing and being with his teammates would help him deal with it better

Will have to watch this. I was joking when I said he needed psych help, but after the fact I realized he had all the tell tale signs of mental breakdown. I really hope he gets some help. Black males are the least likely to be diagnosed properly and people tend to think you should be tough and absorb it.

Kenny and Charles trying to start something. If Harden is now the PG what is Kyries role. Hmm

Kilishihunter:
Jerry Rice is the GOAT not Tom Brady

Pls dont get in d middle of the fight. We all have been praying for this showdown. Between a40 and roland17 somebody will eat goat meat next week

Not a good way to go out for Breezy. Sad, but its time

steady986:
Rebuilding ke! With Oladipo, Wall, Wood, Cousins and Gordon? That's a team that's expected to make the playoffs at least. Then we see where they go from there.

3 of those 5 have history of injuries. If these guys are playing at 70-80% and buy into the coach, we can make some noise come playoffs. But too many things have to go right for us to avoid a first round sweep.

Dont get me wrong, I want to see Oladipo/Wall succeed. But this is the west.

Roland17:
You are too bipolar I been dey think say you go dey jubilate say your prayers have been answered.

If you were in my shoes you would be bipolar too . Its like quitting smoking. You know its bad for you, but that high is hard to replicate

A40:
I sense Harden is insurance of sorts for Kyrie's skoin skoin

Plus looking at the Nets record it can be argued that their depth might have been a tad overrated. Like it's always said the team that got the best player won the trade.

They didn't even lose Dinwiddie who can come back next season. Don't be suprised if Brooklyn trades Kyrie at this rate

I think they are going to. Harden Kyrie and Durant on the floor is too much, all need the ball. You trade Kyrie and get pieces that dont need the ball to be successful. Plus you save some drama

so rockets are in rebuild mode, ol boy this year is going to suck. If you are coach silas, you praying and fasting right now - baba how did I end up in this mess I like Oladipo, but the only winner in this situation is the owner saving money

A40:
People were acting like he was some bum. When his real issue was injuries on injuries. If he's healthy he's a fringe all star or at least a guy that can give you an efficient 18-5-4

didnt he make all star in his last year with utah? apart from injuries, I always get the feeling there is a mental block that prevents him from being a superstar. some days the guy will amaze you. other days, its like he is not on the court. celtics were hoping he would be larry birdesque. It just never worked out.

Afromentalist:
Kyrie spotted celebrating his sister birthday.

At this point the nets will regret not trading him for James harden. Wtf is wrong with that brother

houston is not dumping ground abeg. We dont have any psychiatric facilities, keep your crazy in brooklyn. we have had enough drama already.

steady986:
They need to sort themselves out. Even though his reason may be genuine he can't be giving his teammates the impression that he can just opt out of games whenever he wants. And truly, this job might just be too big for Nash to handle...two very emotional stars.

Nash is in over his head imo. The good thing about Durant is his crazy never extends to the court - he will take care of business for 48 minutes. Kyrie cant seem to keep his trouble off the court, and I dont know that Nash will be able to manage this situation.

Steelers putting up a good fight but this is not the browns team of old. They have enough talent to out some points up. I think steelers are in too big a hole

Ha, steelers. Halloween came early this year

What a crappy end to the season for seahawks.

mattfeuter:
Is Patrick Beverley really a PG tho?

He is an excellent mosquito on the court though. Even looks like one

Roland17:
For some very weird reason we have continued to under estimate the importance of a scoring PG for the Clippers but make it imperative for other teams. Let me reiterate, no competitive team in the Western conference is competing without a scoring or high volume assist PG.
The Lakers-Rondo/ Caruso last season, this season Schroeder/ Caruso
Utah-Donovan
Denver-Murray
Mavs- Doncic
Suns-Booker/Paul
Warriors-Curry
Blazers- Lillard
Thunder last season- CP3
These cats provide high volume scoring/ assists. In the post season you need a PG who can put pressure on a the defense with penetration or perimeter offense form the top of the key because the game slows down into a half court. Relying on PG13/Kawhi alone will not cut it, not saying they are not good enough. I have been saying this for 3 seasons now but nobody wan listen.

And playoffs are about matchups. Which means come playoffs, any well coached team with high assist/high scoring PG will give clips trouble. Unfortunately, half of the western conference qualifies . I think people forget the role Lowry played in the Raptors championship.

mattfeuter:
I don’t think that’s the reason plus I think these guys play pick up basketball in the off season as well.

pickup bball is nothing like a real nba game. i dont think many players have the discipline to keep in shape with all the distractions of 2020

A40:
I don't even know if it's it but there's just something empty calorie about his numbers, he and Russ. They also have a very good offensive center in Thomas Bryant but they simply cannot stop anybody just like the old Wizards with Gilbert Arenas, Antwan Jamison and co

Every time i see or hear gilbert arenas, e dey pain me how that career take end. May we never make unfortunate decisions, that was dumb...

steady986:
It's alarming. A result of the lengthy layoff perhaps?

makes sense that many players started the season out of shape. Nobody really loves this bubble and empty arena thing

Way too many acl injuries already this year, mostly guys who werent even in playoffs last year.
